Review Summary for 126 First Avenue
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenants appreciate 126 First Avenue's prime East Village location, spacious two-bathroom units, attractive exposed brick interiors, and a pleasant rooftop. Neighbors are friendly, and some note well-managed garbage and strong water pressure. However, concerns include occasional rodent presence, pest control issues, inconsistent heating, and occasional cleanliness lapses. Package theft and non-functioning lobby cameras have been reported, with some dissatisfaction about slow owner responsiveness. The building shows signs of aging with limited in-unit amenities like washers or dishwashers. Despite these drawbacks, many residents recommend the building for its community vibe and convenience while urging management to improve maintenance and response times.
